Hey everyone. It's been, what, a month since I updated? Sorry for making you all wait!

Review replies:

Snowfall16: I'm sorry, but I have to disagree with you. I think that StarClan should have gotten involved. Let's face it, ThunderClan was being really cruel to Mapleshade. And also, Thistleclaw wasn't chased out of StarClan. It was confirmed on Thistleclaw's page at Warriors' Wiki that Vicky meant it as a joke.

LittleGrayOwl: You have a good point, Midnight might be able to see the future better than StarClan. And what you said about the nine lives makes sense. But I disagree with what you said about them having to enforce the warrior code. There are times when you just shouldn't enforce rules. Leafpool didn't deserve to be stripped of her position as medicine cat. She's suffered through so much, and now they punish her when she's punished herself already.

Otaku Fernsneeze: I don't think that Ashfur deserves to go to StarClan at all. He didn't just think about killing Squirrelflight's family, he actually attempted murder. He tried to kill Firestar in the Twoleg trap or something, and threatened Lionblaze, Jayfeather, and Hollyleaf in the famous fire scene. But I agree that the Erins portrayed him really badly. In the first and second arc, he was loyal. But then during the third series, he randomly turns into this psychopath character that wants to kill everyone. That doesn't make any sense.

An important thing I wanted to let you all know. After last rant, several people told me that they didn't like what I said about StarClan. For all of you to know, the last rant was in rage-mode. It was purely there to hate on StarClan. It was also there to make people laugh. I'm not very good at that. I'm not mad at the people who told me that, but I just wanted to let you know.

There's another thing that I want to say, which is much more serious. I really don't think that I'm going to be able to upload TRotR. It's been very difficult working on it. I honestly have tried, but I haven't felt any inspiration for it. I really haven't. Also, I feel that TMotM ended on a really good note, and I don't want to spoil that with a horrible sequel.

My original plan was to finish TRotR by the end of the winter break, edit it all through January, and post it in February. I haven't even finished writing it yet. I'm that far behind schedule.

I know that some people are going to be very angry that I'm not uploading the sequel, especially since I begged for OCs for so long. Here's what I'm going to do: I'll let you decide. If a majority of people want a sequel then I will post it. But if you are okay with me not posting one, then I won't. Whatever the case is, I want to hear your opinions. Tell me what you think.

I'm also going to put a poll question on my profile. Please look at that as well.

Warrior Cat Fan Article #8: Bramblestar (Hate)

*MAJOR SPOILERS FOR ALL OF THE SERIES, AND MINOR SPOILERS FOR BRAMBLESTAR'S STORM*

Oh my StarClan. Where do I start with Bramblestar? I'll make this clear right now: I hate him with the passion of all of the Dark Forest put together! I know that a lot of you are all Bramblestar fans out there, so if you don't want to start hating him, you should probably exit now.

To be fair, I didn't always hate Bramblestar. In fact, I loved him as an apprentice. He was so cute. Bramblestar really looked up to Firestar, even though Firestar was quite unfair to him at times. He was always there to support Tawnypelt, even when she left ThunderClan. I also liked him in the second arc – he was a good leader to the journeying cats.

But once we got to the lake, he just went downhill from there. Bramblestar became too much of a Gary-sue. He just bossed everyone around, especially Squirrelflight and Ashfur. Seriously, he got mad at them for playing moss-ball. Bramblestar, if they want to play together, let them. At least they're actually doing work for the Clan. And I get it, Squirrelflight wasn't exactly being very nice to him at the time (I'll do a separate rant on her), but he still should have left them alone.

What annoyed me so much is that he just pretty much yelled at everyone and made them go on hunting patrols and whatnot, when he wasn't doing anything himself. If he had been leader, then I would have been fine with it. But he wasn't even deputy yet, so why does he get to tell everyone what to do?

If you haven't already guessed from this rant, I really, really, really, REALLY hate bossy people. I've had bad experiences with tattletales in school and with the jerks who think that they rule the world. To me, Bramblestar is one of them. I'm not going to go further into that, but you get the idea.

Another thing that I despise about Bramblestar is that he goes and plots Firestar's death with Hawkfrost and Tigerstar. Bramblestar knew that Tigerstar was evil. He had seen his cruelty firsthand, and swore that he would never follow in his pawsteps. Then why does he conspire with Tigerstar? Why couldn't he just do what Tawnypelt did and leave the Dark Forest?

On a side note, I hate how the Erins threw Graystripe into that monster in Dawn. Then in Sunset, they announce Bramblestar as deputy because of Leafpool's omen. It is so obvious that they kicked Graystripe out just to make Bramblestar deputy. Graystripe was awesome! Why do they replace him with Bramblestar when he's not even a good leader?

Talking about his leadership, I'm going to get into that now.

I won't talk too much about Bramblestar's Storm – I don't want to spoil it too much. But for those of you who don't know, Bramblestar meets a kittypet, Jessy, and has a crush on her. Why, Bramblestar, why? You have Squirrelflight! You have a perfectly good mate who's actually a member of ThunderClan! Why do you go off with this kittypet that you barely know for two moons?

To conclude, I find Bramblestar to be really annoying and bossy. He's also a huge hypocrite. So yeah, that's pretty much it.

I know that rant sucked, but I had to get that one out for you guys. Lol, the a/n was longer than the actual chapter.

So, what are your opinions on TRotR? Let me know in your review!
